Welcome to the weekly round-up. This week I’ve got almost 100 links to skeptical salaciousness, inconvenient truths and junk science; and one sizzling link for the hottie. I spoil you.
Get caffeinated and jump in.
Al Gore’s ‘we‘ campaign is unique. In the history of the world, no crisis has ever required a $300 million advertising spend, but I digress. Al’s ‘we’-bots are encouraged to use his, ahem, simple tool, to write to the media to encourage things like clean energy, less CO2 and free unicorns. Or something.
On his blog, Saint Al of Gore hearts Barack; in a second post, Al hearts Barack even more.
Big Al is afraid that scarey chi-Coms are going to steal America’s manufacturing business. Inconveniently for Al, the green movement’s push for CFL bulbs means that ALL light bulbs sold in America will be made in China. Nice play, Shakespeare.
The 4th Annual carbon offset sale.
Al’s in a new movie; he’s not going to like ‘Not Evil, Just Wrong’.
Al Gore spoke at East Tennesse U and declared that global warming increases the chance of deaths from heat waves and shellfish poisoning, and an increase in cholera and kidney stones. Because Al’s all about the science, not the scare.
Al Gore, meet Al Jolson
Al Gore’s BFF and global warming muppet, Jim Hansen, declared that the the world faces catastrophe if CO2 isn’t reduced. Hanson’s colleagues say he overstated the case, but what did they expect from a man that calls coal deliveries ‘death trains’?
David Suzuki, Canada’s own Gore-lite, catches some heat for blatantly exaggerating the effects of global warming. In another article, Suzuki’s totalitarian mask slips as he demands a single overseer of the eco-management of BC. He’s advocating a dictator model, which I find unsurprising, just look at the people that think just like him.
All your opinions are belong to us. Greens bemoan their inability to debate skeptics. Here’s a free clue for green nutjobs everywhere, you cannot win debates because beliefs do not invalidate science.
America is in deep recession, millions are unemployed and the national debt is soaring. What should a President do? Order pizza from 900 miles away, of course. Climate crisis, what crisis?
Polar bears are all going to die, and they are so cuddly and cute and all they need is a hug. Oh, wait, maybe not.
mmmm, crunchy granola tasteGreens believe the children are the future… which is why indoctrination programs are in full force.
A green believer has found the recipe for winning hearts and minds to the AGW cause: “Combining Urgency with Hope will get us to Victory.” Because facts are too hard.
Tom Nelson asks an awkward cosmetics question, off to the re-education camps with him.
Green activists never use hyperbole when lunatic rhetoric will do. ‘Air travel is as bad as stabbing someone in the street‘, which would make Al Gore worse than Jack the Ripper. Lefty logic, gotta love it.
The original moonbat bemoans wind power’s deflating profile in the UK, blames fascists. Is it still 1938?
Is it a sign of the times when scientists are ‘cautious’ rather than alarmist about their findings? Meh, maybe not.
not a cautious scientistBritish Columbians head to the ballot box next month and face a choice between lefties and hard-lefties. Desperate to regain power, the hard-lefties have thrown the province’s carbon tax under the bus, because it might be a climate crisis, but it’s just not as important as winning an election.
As if it’s not hard enough to order a coffee at Starbucks, how about fungi cups? Would you like the low-spore double heterotrophic organism with your latte?
Attack of the killer greens. Thwarted, this time.
Jennifer Marohasy hopes to define greens in a new series. Allow me to lend my view: Dirty hippies with luddite dreams, over-indulgent parents and no clue. There, that saved you some time.
Global warming, the religion of wrecking your industrial economy.
President Obama, climate alarmist, hired a greentard with bad record of predictions as his science advisor. Which would be like hiring Carol Browner as his climate czar. Oh, wait.
From Marc ‘Joe Romm’s BFF‘ Morano’s new Climate Depot site, the ‘climate issue will fall apart, heads will roll.‘
The Catlin expedition, led by Pen Hadow, has no functioning equipment to measure the ice that they went to measure. Can you say epic fail?
global warming, it’s a bitchSkeptics of the world Australia, Unite!
President of the World Obama declared that the science is settled, proving he’s an oxymoron. Or something.
sustain that, windmillObama: Germany, Spain and Japan show how green jobs can work.
Spain: Er, not so much, actually.
It’s the Sun, stupid. Exhibit One.
Sol also risesFossil fuels cannot explain rises in atmospheric CO2. They were also unable to explain the American Idol phenomenon, so perhaps they were not the smartest fossil fuels.
It’s the Sun, stupid. Exhibit Two.
If Vermont, the only state with ‘green’ in its name, home of Ben & Jerry, hippy paradise cannot pass a gas tax (hee), is there any chance the green measure will work?
Arctic ice, even thicker than your average green.
It’s Sol, stupid. Exhibit Three.
On the topic of the great yellow burning ball in the sky, solar panels are not really that green.
Al Gore, Jim Hansen, Joe ‘Crazyface’ Romm et al will have the world believe that a trace gas is wrecking the planet. They claim to know this because their computer models tell them so. Except the models don’t work so well…
(click image for full size)It’s the Sun, stupid. Exhibit Four.
Pots, water, stoves. A global warming cookbook. Sprinkle powdered polar bear, to taste.
A dedicated environmentalist denies AGW. Hippy heads pop.
William Tucker double dog dares the NRC to do what greens demand and close a nuclear power station. His theory is that the resulting, um, fallout, will bury the greens as people demand luxuries like light and heat again.
NASA GISS fight? Shindell vs. Hansen, get ready to rumble.
A NYT journo has his home energy audited, the results aren’t good.
Bamboo laptops, the latest green fad. Bamboo is considered to be eco-friendly because it is fast growing and sustainable. Except it’s not.
India says no to cutting emissions:
reduction commitments, the answer is no. It is morally wrong for us to
agree to reduce when 40 percent of Indians do not have access to
electricity,”
It’s hard to argue with that reality.
sun dog millionairesAn AGW believer suggests that the environment is too important to be left to the green movement:
notions such as sustainable development or the precautionary principle
should be done away with. It is time to move on.
A UK study finds that adults are more fearful than ever, but only 18% of survey respondents blamed fear of global warming for their dysfunction. Al needs to spend more $$’s in the UK to hype the hoax.
Green taxes in the UK cost over $1300/year per person. Ouch.
Californians are some of the most active environmentalists on the planet. They’ll do anything to be seen to be saving the planet, except actually do without anything.
Remote control helicopters in the jungle, Lasers in the jungle, somewhere. Oh yeah. (younger readers, ask your folks about Paul Simon).
Pity BC residents, they have a choice of two main parties in an election, one that gave them carbon taxes, and one that wants to impose cap and trade. None of the above, anyone?
Can new technology prevent Americans from installing mini toxic waste dumps in their homes?
